Family come to Utah


On the 25th Feb.-5th March, my sister and brother-in-law came to Utah to visit us. It was their first time meeting our wee Jack, and we couldn't have been happier for the time we got to spend with them. We pretty much just hung out in Provo/Orem, but also got the chance to spend 2 days in Salt Lake City too seeing around Temple Square. They were able to go in and do a session in the Temple too, which they really enjoyed.
Each morning Jack seemed a little surprised to see them at first...which was so funny...Rachel kept on saying "We're still here!"
He really became quite attached to them both, especially Rachel. I had wondered before they came if he would be more comfortable around her considering she looks a little like me and, of course, the accent is the same. I had gone into take a shower one morning and I heard Jack just screaming. Ryan was trying to calm him down and he just wouldn't let up. And then all of a sudden he stopped very abruptly. When I came out, there he was sitting with Auntie Rachel going through her suitcase and playing with all her clothes. Ryan said to me..."Well, I guess you can be replaced after all...ha." It was quite funny.
All in all we had a wonderful time with both Rachel and Fred and wished they could have stayed longer. They left to go to Washington D.C. and NYC for the last 5 days of their holiday and we hope they are having a wonderful time!
Jack kept wandering into the room they had slept in the following day after they had left....it was so sad to see that he too missed the company.

BUT WE'LL SEE YOU ALL IN MAY!
